Almost 19 dead in Kabul blast after the suicide attack at the education centre
The blast took place at the Kaaj education centre in the Dasht-e-Barchi area west of the city.
Students had been sitting a practice university exam, officials from the centre said.
Many of those living in the area are from the Hazara minority, which has been targeted in past attacks.
No group has yet said they are behind the blast.
But Shiite Hazaras have long faced persecution from the Taliban and its rival, the Islamic State group (IS).
On Friday, the Taliban's interior ministry spokesman said security teams were at the site and condemned the attack.
Abdul Navy Takor said attacking civilian targets "proves the enemy's inhuman cruelty and lack of moral standards."
The Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan last August, and the group says it is attempting to restore stability.
However, attacks by IS have continued.
The Dasht-e-Barchi area has been the location of several attacks, some of which have targeted schools and hospitals.
Last year - before the Taliban returned to power - a bomb attack on a girl’s school in Dasht-e-Barchi killed at least 85 people, mainly students, and wounded hundreds more.
